Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: LibreOffice and Java Security: OpenJDK Vulnerability

2013-01-16 Thread Laurence Jeloudev 
Thank you, for the info world article and the brief explanation about java 
running on desktop software.
I have shared the infoworld article. 
I have a better understanding through this discussion and reading other 
articles of how java works on libreoffice.  
I'm glad this issue has raised discussion and that there are some concerns from 
the media and the community about java and the way that oracle resolves 
security exploits. 
ljelly.

Security releases for OpenJDK and Icedtea were released yesterday (Tues
Jan 17). Of course I reckon that it will take awhile for the builds to
get pushed to the distro's.
